Permanent employee, Full-time · Hamburg

About us
Committed to building the next generation of 100% software-based mobile networks, ng-voice is creating innovative mobile infrastructure solutions and making them accessible for operators and enterprises that want to deploy future-proof networks. 

We are looking for an IMS Cloud Architect to join our team.
Tasks

What you'll do

  1. Design and own the cloud-native architecture of our Kubernetes-based telecom platform across public cloud and on-prem environments.
  2. Ensure cloud readiness of product features – review and validate infrastructure, networking, security, observability, and automation impacts early in the lifecycle.
  3. Drive the cloud platform roadmap – identify gaps, raise enhancements, and improve scalability, resilience, and operability based on real-world deployments.
  4. Define customer deployment architectures – own the cloud and infrastructure sections of high-level designs, including HA/DR, scaling, and upgrade strategies.
  5. Support customer engagements – lead technical discussions on cloud architecture, sizing, resilience, and operational models during pre- and post-sales phases.
  6. Champion operability – ensure features ship with monitoring, logging, alerting, and clear operational guidance.
  7. Work cross-functionally – collaborate closely with product, engineering, deployment, and customer-facing teams to avoid late-stage infrastructure surprises.
